I briefly considered posting something from Glee, just for the lulz, but decided the resultant eeling wouldn't be worth it. So instead I present the Black Sweden and their hard rock covers/mashups of ABBA songs..

I'm kind of surprised the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt" didn't show up on here sooner.

I love Reznor's comments after seeing it:

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure

I've got them all on various dodgy audio cassette bootlegs bought in the late 80s.

The guy I formed my first band with had a bootleg stall and used to go to London weekly to source more, I've got hundreds of old, dodgy cassettes, of various quality. The Hey Joe/Purple Haze medley is pretty cool as well, loved that kind of shredded guitar sound and spent hours trying to emulate it... ha.
